Recently, the damages by typhoons and heavy rains are increasing due to the climate change. However, we are still vulnerable to inundation disaster due to various causes such as poor physical flood control and lacks of disaster and safety management. Therefore, it is necessary to establish systems to ensure safety and prepare practical countermeasures that can minimize damage when an inundation occurs, thereby minimizing economic loss and casualty. In this study, hydrodynamic inundation modelings were implemented to analyze the "Noryangjin reservoir inundation accident" and "Choryang No. 1 underground road inundation accident." and spatial risk was assessed by a quantitative hazard index. In addition, cause and effect diagrams were provided to present the risk causes in terms of physical and managemental aspects.

Background: This study investigated whether pre- and peri-disaster experiences influence on PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and whether post-disaster stress by life changes have impact on PTSD after controlling pre- and peri-disaster factors. Methods: Data came from a sample of 1,182 respondents who experienced natural disasters (flood and typhoon) in South Korea from 2012 to 2015. The SPSS Win 22.0 program was used for descriptive analysis, t-test, Chi-square test, Pearson's correlation and logistic regression analysis. Results: The results indicated that 24.3% of the disaster victims were in PTSD risk group. Compared with non-PTSD, PTSD risk group showed lower interpersonal trust and satisfaction, higher depression and anxiety, and lower subjective well-being. The results of hierarchical logistc regression revealed that all pre-, peri-, and post-disaster factors increased the probability of developing PTSD, except for relocation of residence. Moreover, a primary post-disaster predictor of PTSD was economic distress after controlling for pre- and peri-disaster. Conclusions: This study tested relative contributions of post-disaster factors on PTSD.

The frequency of localized heavy rain is increasing due to the influence of abnormal climate that is rapidly increasing in recent years. As a result, the difficulty of safe water resource management is increasing and human and material damage is increasing. Various countermeasures are being established to reduce the damage caused by localized heavy rain, but small-scale mountain catchments are experiencing many difficulties due to the lack of a basic plan. Therefore in this study the risk of flooding was evaluated using the rainfall-runoff model in the Yu-pyeong catchment national park among national parks in Korea. As a result of the analysis, it was simulated that flooding occurred in the Yu-pyeong catchment of Mt. Jirisan when rainfall with a recurrence frequency of 50 years or more occurred, and it was confirmed that there was a high risk of structures, safety facilities and trails.

In recent years, the occurrence of abnormal weather has increased rapidly, increasing the frequency of torrential rain. As a result, stable water resource management is difficult, and human and material damage is increasing. Various measures are being established to reduce damage caused by torrential rains, but small-scale mountain catchments are relatively difficult to manage due to lack of basic plan. In this study, the risk of flooding was evaluated using the rainfall-flow model in the Yeonhwa-dong catchment national park among national parks in Korea. The Yeonhwa-dong catchment of Mt. Sobaeksan was simulated to cause flooding when rainfall of more than 50 years occurred, and it was confirmed that there was a high risk of water resource structures, safety facilities, and trails.

The main purpose of this study is to reframe sustainability or sustainable development concept in the field of planning in consideration of climate change and natural hazards. The new concept is expected to provide a theoretical foundation for upcoming hazard mitigation measures addressing climate change. The first and main argument of the new concept is that environmental protection should be inclusive enough to address urban (or community) security from current natural hazards. The second is that the balance between structural and nonstructural mitigation measures is critical to cope more effectively with extreme natural hazards in the era of climate change and also with conflicts driven by three goals of sustainability--environmental protection, economic development, and social justice. The following studies, based on this new concept of sustainablity, are expected (1) to address new participation methods for the conflict resolution, (2) to explore detailed and substantive planning strategies and creative technical and institutional solutions for environmental protection, natural hazard mitigation, and conflict resolution. Two of APFM(the Associated Programme on Flood Management)'s three natural hazard risk criteria, Exposure and Vulnerability, may guide the exploration.

The Urban Stream Assessment Technique (USAT) was suggested to give information about present urban stream condition. Domestic and foreign stream evaluation methods were analyzed and some streams were previously investigated to decide evaluation factors that could evaluate stream condition and have concern with characteristics and flood control of urban stream. The USAT consisted of three steps. High step has three characteristics concerned with functions of stream such as flood risk, stream, and ecology. In middle step, three characteristics were subdivided by ten features to describe changes and degradations of urban stream. Low step consisted of fifty three factors that explain the present condition of ten features. A survey of river experts was conducted to reflect weight among characteristics and features. The weights were calculated by analytic hierarchy process(AHP). The USAT was carried out to check over application of that in Suwon, Anyang, and Joongrang stream. The results of stream evaluation were expressed by factor index, feature index, characteristic index, total index, and evaluation grade. The results of the USAT were useful to realize changed and degraded areas. It is expected that the USAT can be used as base investigation for restoring and managing urban streams.

Recently, in Korea, the risk of meteorological disasters is increasing due to climate change, and the damage caused by rainfall is being emphasized continuously. Although the current weather forecast provides quantitative rainfall, there are several difficulties in predicting the extent of damage. Therefore, in order to understand the impact of damage, the threshold rainfall for each watershed is required. The damage caused by rainfall occurs differently by region, and there are limitations in the analysis considering the characteristic factors of each watershed. In addition, whenever rainfall comes, the analysis of rainfall-runoff through the hydrological model consumes a lot of time and is often analyzed using only simple rainfall data. This study used GIS data and calculated the threshold rainfall from the threshold runoff causing flooding by coupling two hydrologic models. The calculation result was verified by comparing it with the actual case, and it was analyzed that damage occurred in the dangerous area in general. In the future, through this study, it will be possible to prepare for flood risk areas in advance, and it is expected that the accuracy will increase if machine learning analysis methods are added.

전 세계적으로 물과 관련된 자연재해 피해가 지속적으로 증가하고 있고 세계재난데이터베이스(EM-DAT)에서 집계한 물과 관련된 중요한 자연재해의 피해액은 지난 50년 동안 많은 투자에도 불구하고 여전히 피해액이 증가되고 있다. 특히, 우리나의 경우, 전 국토의 70% 이상이 산악지형으로 구성된 지형적 요인, 인구 및 사회기반시설이 집중되는 도시지역의 확대 현상, 빈번히 발생되는 이상강우와 강우강도의 증가 등으로 전국 곳곳에서 큰 침수피해가 반복적으로 발생하고 있다. 이러한 도시침수의 저감대책을 마련하기 위해 정부부처에서 도시계획적 및 방재차원에서 관련 정책을 제시하고 있지만 실무적 측면에서 실효성이 낮은 실정이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 지자체 담당자의 업무부담을 줄여주면서 기술지원이 가능한 도시침수 위험도 관리시스템을 구축하고자 한다. 이에 따라 재해에 대해 평상시 위험도 정보를 기초로 시설투자, 개발계획 조정 등 사전대책을 마련할 수 있는 도시침수의 위험정도에 따른 지역 분석과 중점관리 대상지 선정 기준이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 재해통계자료를 토대로 전국 226개 지자체에 대해, 최근 8년(2008~2014년) 간 발생된 호우 발생빈도와 피해액의 관계분석을 통하여 도시침수의 위험지역을 분류하였다. 국가재난정보센터의 재난통계기록의 호우발생횟수와 도시침수에 대한 피해정도를 고려하기 위해 건물과 공공시설에 대한 피해액을 분석항목으로 적용하였다. 이에 대한 도시지역의 침수발생에 대한 중점관리대상지 선정을 위하여 각 행정구역의 면적계수를 적용한 뒤 분위분석을 실시하였다. 호우 발생빈도와 피해액에 따라 위험도가 75% 이상으로 도시의 침수피해가 가장 높은 지역, 50% 이상이며 75% 미만인 지역, 25% 이상이며 50% 미만인 지역, 25% 미만으로 위험도가 가장 낮은 지역으로 도시침수 위험지역을 상세 분류하고 도시침수에 의한 중점관리가 필요한 대상지 35개 지역을 선정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 지역의 도시계획 및 방재 측면에서 도시침수와 관련된 저감대책을 고려 시 기초자료로 활용 가능하고, 지자체별 지원 규모 설정 시 적정 기준제시가 가능할 것이다.

Large-scale earthquakes are occurring globally, especially in the South Asian crust, which is experiencing a state of tension in the aftermath of the 2011 East Japan Earthquake. Uncertainty and fear regarding the possibility of further seismic activity in the near future have been on the rise in the region. The National Disaster Management Research Institute has previously studied and analyzed the overflow characteristics of a tsunami and the rate of flood forecasting through tsunami numerical simulations of the East Sea of South Korea. However, there is currently a significant lack of research on the Southern Coast tsunamis compared to the East Coast. On the Southern Coast, the tidal difference is between 1~4 m, and the impact of the tides is hard to ignore. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the impact of the tide propagation characteristics on the tsunami. Occurrence regions that may cradle tsunamis that affect the southern coast region are the Ryukyu Island and Nankai Trough, which are active seafloor fault zones. The Southern Coast has not experienced direct damage from tsunamis before, but since the possibility is always present, further research is required to prepare precautionary measures in the face of a potential event. Therefore, this study numerically simulated a hypothetical tsunami scenario that could impact the southern coast of South Korea. In addition, the tidal wave propagation characteristics that emerge at the shore due to tide and tsunami interactions will be analyzed. This study will be used to prepare for tsunamis that might occur on the southern coast through tsunami hazard and risk analysis.

Purpose: As the connection between physical and non-physical structures in cities is expanding and becoming more complex, the risk of complex disaster which causes damage in a complex way is increasing. Preparing for these complex disasters, it is important to preemptively identify and manage disasters that can develop into complex disasters. Therefore, this study analyzes the disaster types studied as complex disasters by analyzing the trends of domestic and international studies related to complex disasters, and presents the direction of complex disaster management in the future. Method: We first established co-occurrence networks between disaster types based on 993 articles related to complex disasters published in disaster-related journals for the last 20 years (2002-2021). Then, through network analysis, domestic and international complex disaster research trends were compared and analyzed. Result: Research on complex disasters related to storm and flood damage, infrastructure failure and fire was high in domestic studies, and it was analyzed that research on complex disasters related to earthquakes and landslides has recently increased. However, in international studies, the proportion of studies on infrastructure failure along with storm and flood damage and earthquake was high, and various types of disasters such as tsunami and drought appeared. Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to increase the understanding of the trends in complex disaster research and provide suggestions of domestic complex disaster research in the future.
